Are women intimidated by wealthy men?

Stephanie J

Not I. I won't date them if they don't make good money, and I'm never shy.

Why would that "come up" after "a few minutes"?

Maybe you come off as boastful.

Ida

looks like your looking for a date. sorry i am not it. i'm not imtimidated by your wealth. but, i am asking you a question now. how are you with God and your inner peace? that is all i am looking for and it looks like you got some work baby.

Chericher

maybe you are approaching the wrong women. really confident women are able to carry a conversation with any man regardless of the amount of money they have and they are not easily intimidated.

Hey Rio,

I'm going to level with you here. I am a sharp, healthy reasonably successful woman and the HONEST answer is yes, to a degree we are - unless a man is able to let a woman know he has her back. Even for strong smart women lots of things make us insecure when we do not feel safe. A straying eye for example, or being aloof is a HUGE one. There are various reasons. If you make a woman feel like she is replaceable and she leaves you, (assuming she is not your wife) you had it coming because we will not allow exploitation of our insecurities. If you are flaunting your wealth it is a huge red flag that would send a descent woman running but attract many others. Money does afford certain freedoms and comforts but at the end of the day it is your arms we want around us, not your money - and that's the truth.

I hope you will bless and be blessed.

Yes... to me it would be intimidating to a degree. I have never dated a man who made that kind of money & I wouldn't know what to say or do. I think it's because there is such a fine line anymore between an independent woman & a gold digger. If I was to date you, it would be difficult because I don't come with such an income. But yet, I own my own business & live comfortably. So, therefore - I'd be myself & expect you to be too. But if it came to going some place that was out of range financially for me I'd feel awkward because I like to be able to pay my way... I think I'm way too independent here! SSSHHHHHSSSSHHHH - I had no idea guys like you were out there!

A Very good question - that I find really kinda hard to answer!

georgiablondie

maybe we are a little intimidated.. but I'd be willing to work through it..lol

hahahaha

hey,
i dont have a clear answer to your question but I would only like to say that

most men are intimidated by women's wealth.. thats not related to your question but yeah.

Women might be "intimidated" because those men may end up being cold and only caring about wealth but not of love.

Money is only that!
But why do you have to tell a woman right away that you are well off?
Just have a relationship that omits the income blabbing and see what happens!
Hint: Talk about other things. Talk about her interests and see if you share any.
There are depths to explore!

Not really, but I also make in the six figures. I didn't think 6 figures was really considered wealthy anymore...? I think women are more intimidated by the way men carry themselves... Like if you acted arrogant about your money, I think we'd be more likely to shy away...

sixdollarfreedom

i think a lot of woman shy back a little so as not to appear to be a gold digger.
a wealthy man is definitely not a turn off...... but a woman does not want to appear to like you simply for that.

or maybe what is a turnoff is the fact that somehow she knows that you make the high six figures after only a few minutes of conversation. that could definitely be a turnoff. why would that even come up in conversation right away anyway.

I don't think the money is an issue, it's just sometimes you might be giving off the wrong impression ABOUT money. But it's easy to change. Just prove that you are a very successful person who does have morals and money is NOT everything. You may just be talking to the wrong women too. The one you're meant to be with, no matter for how long, won't care about little stuff like that.

Misty D

I don't think it is a matter of intimidation, we just get shy sometimes. Some women are just shy period. And others are sometimes a little backwards, especially after finding out your figures(as you put it), but more so, It almost sounds as if you enjoy this. You sound like you adore that fact that women will shy away knowing how much money you make. If you are truly sincere, then hold off with the money thing. Have you ever seen the movie were they would not talk about his job, until after he had the girl? It was a real good movie, and honestly I wouldn't want a man who showed off his money. Love isn't about money, as some people would think or even like. Good Luck, I hope you find the woman you are looking for.

Some may very well be intimidated..

Wealth can represent a place in society, which might exceed some women's comfort level. If she's used to blue collared, lunch pail toting, get their hands dirty sort of men you wouldn't be her type.

And then some women might feel bought or kept if you are in astratospherically different income range. Lower income women might dream of the wealthy professional but are more comfortable with the cable guy sometimes.

My guess is however, that there more women who would consider you a catch.

Beejee

My guess: They are more likely inspired, motivated by rich guys.

arh

I'm sure all women aren't intimidated. Putting myself in her shoes, I may be. Getting involved with a man that is that well off could mean a lot of lifestyle changes.I myself have gotten used to living a paycheck to paycheck life and as stressful as That can be it's what I know. It could also come down to esteem "what would a guy this well off want with a nobody like me?" You just may have to pursue a little harder until they get to know the "real you".

Mrs. CT

Heck NO!! It has to be something else....most woman are looking for potential life partners. Why would being successful and making 6 figures be a turnoff? We LOVE money! Who doesn't? But bragging about your 6 figures is a turnoff. Being comfortable financially is definatley a plus in my book and should be to anyone else if they have any sense about them.

snapdragon

No wander you have money you are obviously stingy cause you make that much and instead of going to see a qualified therapist your poling answers on the Internet. Have fun with the dating if your really trying to find a woman who will care for you don't mention the wealth until you've dated for a while.
If there getting an idea of what you make from your job description then omit the details if you are an attorney then simply state you work in the legal field you get the idea.

look at donald trump's wife, i think she's turned on by money

Monkey's uncle

I'm single woman. This is my view: Say just met a man who is also available. During conversation I come to the realization that he is well off/finanically secure. (I agree - there is a way to say that is not boasting.) For me - panic mode! If I like him, I don't want him to think I am only interested in him for his money. So it throws off the moment, the vibe. Suggestion: ask her on a second date. I bet you'll get it.

Money could be intimidating especially when you don't have as much to live up to that persons life style and standards.

The first thing that would come to mind is that he is way out of my league and that you are just looking for a fun time and not a serious relationship because I would not be able to hold up to your standards of living.

The Grit

Not really. I don't really care how much a man makes. His money means nothing to me personally as I'm able to make more than enough money to take care of myself.

Now, that's just me. The situation varies woman to woman.

adams2401

are you coming to texas anytime soon????

FAT DOG

Please get over yourself,I do better.

You know a lot of these are cliche' but I will be honest. I would be a little intimidated. I mean I would feel like I don't measure up to be with a rich man. Don't get me wrong I make pretty good money being 23 but not nearly that much. Besides I think some women have a problem with being 'kept' by a man. I don't want to be with a rich man and when he wants some other chick he just kicks me out on the street, ya know. There is just something about eating caviar and going back to hot dogs that I don't like about that.

Cindy

Not all women are like that, personally I don't see the big deal in it at all. Especially women that are comfortable with in them selves, wouldn't be so concerned. Most women that are content with in their own lives will not have a problem with that. They will be women that already have the things that they need for the most part, and are not looking to put a feather in their cap.

Hey, what is the big deal. I'd look at it like if your comfortable then so am I. Maybe don't be so quick to to share this information with them right off, let her get to know you better before you tell her that. Once she knows you she will be more comfortable with you.

What time did you say dinner was? lol, just kidding!

BTW: It would be better to get to know the woman so that you know that she isn't only interested in you for your money. There is more to a relationships than some one having money, and you want to know that the woman thinks more of you than that. You want some thing that will last you a long time, not some gold digger looking for a free ride in life.

Best of luck to you!

That is a shocker...Come to NC and the women would be all over you....they usually want someone to take care of them so they can vacation during the day.

The shying away could be a few things - fear of life style changes, relocation and inadequacy. Some "wealthy" guys have given the wrong "title" to good guys that make a good living. Some "rich boys" treat woman badly, use their money to smooth over the humiliation that they may have caused the female (gifts and such)...faithfulness usually isn't a strong suit - girl at every port....

Your profession must be something else to shy them away - I don't think the money thing is the problems - sit back and rethink some of the things that you are saying to them and the why you hold yourself. Material things should matter if there is an attraction.
